Biography
Merle Jackson was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1934 to a Dixie family, and he became a member of the Dixie Mafia gang. Jackson became the racket boss of a prostitution ring in Delray Hollow, and he treated his African-American prostitutes poorly, giving them drugs before selling their services to white customers. Jackson was the first racket boss that Lincoln Clay decided to take out, using the assistance of Charles Laveau to free his "thoroughbred" prostitutes from Perla's Nightclub and kill his pimps Gert Delong and Rooster Desaulniers. Jackson headed to his brothel after learning of these incidents, and Clay shot his way through his club before finding him in his office and stabbing him in the heart with a knife.
